Before he was the CEO of Davis Painting, Colby Davis was in the field—loading ladders, prepping sites, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with his crew. He didn’t start with a corner office or a business degree. He started with hands-on work and a mindset that valued doing things right, even when no one was watching.
Those early years shaped his leadership style. Colby believes that real leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about trust, consistency, and the willingness to do the hard work yourself. The standards he set as a crew leader still define how Davis Painting operates today.
As the company expanded across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Colby never lost sight of the details. He sees every role—whether it’s the person rolling paint or managing logistics—as essential to the big picture. His hands-on experience has made him a leader who understands what it takes at every level, and it’s why his crews respect him.
At its core, Davis Painting isn’t just about delivering great results. It’s about building a culture where people feel valued, take pride in their work, and grow with the company. That starts at the top—and for Davis Painting, it started with Colby in the trenches.
